Ep 4. There Is No Escape

The Goes Wrong Show season 2 episode 4, titled "There Is No Escape," follows the disastrous mishaps of the Cornley Drama Society as they attempt to put on a murder mystery play. As with any production by this amateur group, chaos and hilarity ensue.

The episode begins with the actors backstage, getting into character and making last-minute preparations. However, their backstage antics quickly spiral out of control when Chris (played by Chris Leask) accidentally knocks over a prop, causing a chain reaction of events that culminate in a fire breaking out in the theater.

Despite the chaos, the show must go on, and the Cornley Drama Society proceeds with their performance of "Murder at Haversham Manor." However, as the title suggests, there is no escape from the many mishaps that plague this production.

As the play progresses, the cast and crew are forced to improvise and think on their feet as various props malfunction or go missing altogether. Hilarity ensues as scenes that should be suspenseful or dramatic instead become comedic and absurd.

In one particularly memorable scene, Sandra (played by Sandra Wilkinson) must rely on her colleagues to guide her through a darkened room using only a flashlight. However, the flashlight goes out at the worst possible moment, leading to a frantic search for spare batteries and an impromptu game of hide-and-seek.

Another standout moment comes when Dennis (played by Dennis Tyndall) accidentally knocks over a bookshelf, causing a cascade of books to fall onto the stage. Undeterred, the actors incorporate the falling books into the play, picking them up and passing them off to each other as if they were part of the script all along.

Despite the many challenges they face, the Cornley Drama Society soldiers on, determined to deliver a memorable performance. And in the end, perhaps it is these unexpected mishaps that make their production all the more entertaining.

Overall, The Goes Wrong Show season 2 episode 4 is a hilarious romp that showcases the talent and ingenuity of the Cornley Drama Society. With its slapstick humor and quick wit, it is sure to leave audiences laughing and wanting more.
